Farewell message from Marc and Bernd.

Capt Shariff,

I’d like to express my appreciation for all the work you’ve done for GLMS and the company in general. You are full of energy and ideas; where would we’ve been be without that?
I came late to the project but still then I could see and really feel the important role you’ve played and are still playing for this global and regional project. Thanks for all of this.
Wish you a very good time now, full of happiness and the right mix between new challenges and free time for yourself and/or with your family.

Big thanks and with warm regards,

Bernd

Dear Marc,

Thanks and I will tell you the secret recipe !.

Being an Entrepreneur or better known an PirateKing the most relevant skill that helped me out is actually in the Implementation skills after having a clear and specific idea about what the GLMS product or service does and how it does it.

We should also know who is going to be interested in having this product or service when it exists. Plus with the Local Team, SIEP Central Team & IBS expertise's to translate the concept into reality. (,,,,,,i.e. pirating their knowledge base so to say !.:))

Lastly but most important, with the Shell's working environment that supports this project execution which supports innovation and product development among its employees.

But please remember, we have yet to deliver Phase 111 i.e. Material Movement Module, which should be easy once you link to and roll over what existing SAP OLM does, across to GLMS. Note; Only service that GLMS don't cater for is the material order from Vendor. GLMS starts after goods receipt at the onshore warehouse, whereby the material is packed and shipped across to the offshore location.

Presently OLM does shipping using voyages and shipments. The actual material is loaded into containers or baskets and into vessel holds. Materials can be held at onshore location, if required, and returns can be created. Returns are used to return defective goods or extra goods from offshore location to the warehouse. These are the activities that GLMS has to take over from OLM and deliver it together with the Vessel Manifest for every individual legs and from location to location.

Regards and do e-mail me on my island ; shariff.abbas@gmail.com if you guys still needs any further clarification.

From Marc.

Shariff,

I would like to extend a big thank you for your invaluable contribution to the GLMS project.
Your drive and determination to get GLMS deployed in Malaysia and other OU's, combined with your knowledge of the business and business processes, has made a positive difference.

I have valued very much the good, direct and open communication flavoured with humour.

By the way it is now official, the ladies have voted you as the Good Looking Man in Shell:)))
The central GLMS team would like to wish you all the best to your and your family for the future and I hope you can fully enjoy your time on your island. Beware of another pirate on the high seas....... Keep in touch.

Kind regards,

Man of the year for 2008.

latest,,,,,

The Iraqi journalist arrested for throwing his shoes at US President George W Bush has written to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki apologising over the incident, Maliki's office said on Thursday.

I apologise for missing !........hahaha.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,"the shoe throwing was "Iraq's reaction" to the war and years of U.S. sanctions against Iraq before the conflict began. The reporter, Mr Muntazer Al-Zaini was not motivated for personal reasons, or because he has "anything against the American people,"


Geeeeee,,,,missed the dog !.
Mr Muntazer Al-Zaidi jumped up as Mr Bush held a press conference.
Muntazer shouted " It is the farewell kiss, you dog" and threw his footware across to Mr Bush who lowered his head and the first shoe hit the American and Iragi flags.
The second shoe went slightly off target,,,,,,,unfortunately.
Mind you, soles of shoes are considered the altimate insult in the Arab culture. Getting hit on the face by a shoe is even worst !. Mind you,,,,,,,,,its far worst than dying.
Apparently, Bush laughed it off saying "It doesn't bother me. If you want the facts, it was a size 10 shoe that he threw".
